Confess
I cannot confess
A jester dances over my black heart
Pulling the threads to pull me apart
Just another mess
Eradicate the gossiping moon
The dead sit with a hand upon my shoulder
And I feel so much colder
But my death it is all too soon
I'm no longer here
So if you search for me I won't be found
I slipped out of the window without a sound
Awakening your darkest fear
The black sky serenades my escape
I'm like a convict trying to escape my own life
But what can I do when I know only this strife
I'm not some superhero wearing a cape
The clouds don't want to hear of my sins
The stars are flickering as if they're about to explode
And I wish, I wish that I could simply unload
All of my losses and all of my wins
I'm no longer here
I left Earth's callous sonnet hours ago
With all the secrets only I will ever know
And all that you hold dear
Only the sun could undress my deepest secrets
To divine the source of my deepest sorrows
But for me there will be no tomorrows
Leaving behind all my regrets
I cannot confess
A jester dances over my black heart
Pulling the threads to pull me apart
Only in death my I coalesce
